Source https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/544174 does list these as Open Access Public Domain. Abzeronow (talk) 01:48, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

Yes they do, notice the OA symbol under the images Pashonti (talk) 01:51, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

@Pashonti: OOPS, you are right. How could I miss that? Files restored and license reviewed. Apologies, and sorry for the inconvenience. Yann (talk) 13:49, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

File:Richard Agnew.jpg

Hi Yann. Can you tell whether File:Richard Agnew.jpg is the same as the photo found here? They look the same to me, despite the size difference, and perhaps the version uploaded to Commons is a cropped zoomed version of the larger photo shown on that website. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:01, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

@Marchjuly: Hi, Yes, it is the same picture. It is possible that the uploader is Rick Agnew, but a VRT permission would be much better. Yann (talk) 16:46, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for checking on this. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:30, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

File:Yayoi Kusama in 2015, cropping.jpg

I thought this one would be deleted automatically with File:Yayoi Kusama in 2015.jpg. Can you delete it too? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:20, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

 Done --Yann (talk) 16:41, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

They also blocked my account.

They blocked my IP first then they asked some questions and even after I give there answers they replies like, Looks like AI generated, English is not your 1st language, And when I try to make them undastand I used some abuses with ** and they blocked my account too. And in English Wikimedia they blocked there is no expiry on those blocks I mean showing no expiry there. Anikmolla786 (talk) 17:16, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

@Anikmolla786: Hi, Like I said, we can't do anything on Commons. May be if you contribute here following Commons policies for some time, people on English Wikipedia will see that you are able to follow policies, and they will unblock you there. There is no guarantee, but that's a possibility. Anyway, you have to ask there, not here. Regards, Yann (talk) 18:02, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

A pending decision

Hi! Three months ago I asked you to undelete File:ALBERTO NÚÑEZ FEIJÓO.jpg in this discussion, and you decided to wait for Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Deva1995 to close before making a final decision. The outcome of that deletion request was to keep the files, so I expect you to act accordingly in this case. Thanks for your patience! Basque mapping (talk) 15:56, 5 September 2025 (UTC)

@Basque mapping: These files were copied from Flickr where there is a free license, while this file is copied a site which is dead (I also check the WaybackMarchine). Yann (talk) 14:58, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

I did not know the original uploader had taken the image from the website and not from Flickr. However, the Flickr file is the exact same version uploaded in May and it is published under CC0. I have just updated that information and the bot has passed the licence. Basque mapping (talk) 16:21, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

OK fine then. Yann (talk) 16:31, 6 September 2025 (UTC)

College swimming

Hi Yann! I noticed you deleted Category:College swimming "per COM:SPEEDY". I don't know much about it beyond the fact that I had used it on one file, where I noticed the deletion. But on its surface, it seems like a valid category topic, so I was curious if you could elaborate on your reasoning. Cheers, Sdkb ^talk 02:15, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Duplicate category of Category:College swimming and diving. Abzeronow (talk) 03:16, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

OK. In that case, the category page should have just been replaced with {{Category redirect}} pointing to the existing category. That way, the files in it would have been automatically recategorized, rather than losing their categorization. @Yann, can you please go through the files where you removed the category and ensure they are appropriately recategorized instead? Sdkb ^talk 17:57, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

@Sdkb: OK, I undeleted this and added {{Category redirect}}. Sorry, I don't have the time to go through all files. Yann (talk) 18:23, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Your deletion of the category is what led to it being removed from the files, so that is unfortunate (my general view is that, when an admin creates a mess of some sort, which inevitably happens from time to time, they should clean up that mess before moving on to other tasks). Sdkb ^talk 18:31, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

@Sdkb: No, when I deleted it, it was empty. I don't delete not-empty categories without a discussion. The files were probably moved by one of the user who requested deletion, either User:Spatms or User:Tvpuppy. Yann (talk) 18:35, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Ah, apologies, my bad. I had seen that Spatms had removed the category, and when I checked why I saw that you had deleted it, but I mistakenly presumed that the deletion had come first.

Tvpuppy and Spatms, next time there's a similar situation, I'd use {{Category redirect}} rather than {{SD|C2}} or {{Bad name}} to seek deletion, since it's plausible that someone looking for college swimming and diving might search for just college swimming. I'll make an edit to {{Bad name}} to highlight this.

Apart from that, everything seems kosher now. Cheers, Sdkb ^talk 18:41, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

@Sdkb Thanks for letting me know, from what I remember is that I noticed the category was tag with {{SD|C2}} and didn’t contain any files, but only one subcat that is created by Spatms the same day. I found this weird since it seemed like the topic should be quite common, so I looked into it a bit and discovered that Spatms also created Category:College swimming and diving the same day. I admit I haven’t thought about it much, and I assumed it must be an incorrect name/term, so moved that single subcat and I changed the tag to {{Bad name}}.

Now I have looked into it properly, and I agree I should have changed it to a category redirect instead, since the rename wasn’t done properly with a category move, and as you said it is a term that people will use. I will pay more attention in the future, so apologies for the confusion and thank you to both of you. Tvpuppy (talk) 19:11, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

The reason using SD|C2 is better is because the notice showing this category has been previously deleted is better than showing it has been moved. It lets people know to not use this category anymore and keeps them from switching back, which I have seen happen multiple times. Six one way, 1/2 a dozen another. Please fell free to redirect since you prefer that. I will not object to your formatting preference. Be well and I appreciate you looking into categories that need help!

Charlie Kirk person of interest image

I didn't post the file, but I noticed you just deleted the Charlie Kirk person of interest file. I believe it wasn't a copyright violation as it appears to be CCTV footage, which is ineligible for copyright and is in the public domain. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 17:24, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

@PublicDomainFan08: Which file? Yann (talk) 17:28, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

This one: File:Suspect of interest of Charlie Kirk's killing.jpg. PublicDomainFan08 (talk) 17:28, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

OK, I created a regular DR instead: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Suspect of interest of Charlie Kirk's killing.jpg. Yann (talk) 17:31, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/File:Suspect of interest of Charlie Kirk's killing.jpg

I would much prefer if you nominated all the files in Category:Person of interest sought in connection with the killing of Charlie Kirk for deletion rather than only a singular file Trade (talk) 18:33, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

@Trade: I only undeleted the file as requested by PublicDomainFan08, and converted the speedy deletion to a regular one. I added a note in the DR. Yann (talk) 18:51, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Affiches italiennes libres de droits ?

Bonjour,

Grâce aux débats autour des photos de Roger Pic, je découvre le portail Europeana, qui apparemment est une référence pour déterminer les droits. Sur ce portail, plusieurs affiches italiennes publiées par la Provincial Library Magna Capitana sont présentées comme sans copyright. Exemples ː [1], [2], [3] et [4]. Il serait donc possible de les téléverser sur Commons ? Groupir ! (talk) 20:17, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

@Groupir !: Bonjour, Il faut déterminer les droits au cas par cas : qui est l'auteur, quand le document a-t-il été publié, etc. Yann (talk) 10:20, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Normalement, ce sont des œuvres qui me paraissent trop récentes pour être dans le domaine public (des films sortis il y a 60 ans ou moins). C'est pour ça que l'indication d'Europeana me surprend. Groupir ! (talk) 13:57, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

File:Trump Hack Screenshot 2025-09-10 21-26-44.png

CSD G3 does not pertain. The transcription on Wikipedia of Trump's Oval Office speech was being repeatedly vandalized with such closed captioning. ("stop deleting my edits you faggots" was another). I've discussed the matter with (on Talk:Killing_of_Charlie_Kirk/Archive_2: a file needs to be added) with ARandomName, who dealt with the vandalism at its source. There's your context: scurrilous hacktivism and an example of Wikipedia vandalism. Kencf0618 (talk) 15:57, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

@Kencf0618: Hi, What is the educational use of this? Yann (talk) 16:50, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

It demonstrates that's its used in the vernacular, whatever the medium, as generic, content-free insult. Kencf0618 (talk) 23:00, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

restored files

Dear Yann, what is the story about the restored files of old Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Cramerwiki? Please consider to mention the reason in the undeletion log, or to update the pages so that there are no invalid deletion requests remaining. --Krd 06:31, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

 Done --Yann (talk) 10:27, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

Thx. As you are active on COM:UNDEL you might want to monitor User:Krdbot/lost deletion requests. --Krd 11:13, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

 Done OK thanks. @Krd: However I wonder on which criteria it got in this list. It wasn't closed yet. Yann (talk) 11:24, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

I think the deletion request. which was present in files, was closed. Krd 11:41, 13 September 2025 (UTC)

File:Lemmy front page.png

Are you sure de minimis does not apply here? Copyrighted images on posts' thumbnails are not essential parts of this file. Sapphaline (talk) 16:07, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

@Sapphaline: Hi, There is also the general design of the website, which is usually under a copyright. Also what is the educational use of this? We usually do not keep website screenshots. Yann (talk) 16:17, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

mlmym is available under a free license. what is the educational use of this - illustrating en:Lemmy (social network) (or one of its frontends, at the very least)? Sapphaline (talk) 18:20, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Screenshots of website pages normally do not fall under de minimis. A screenshot lets the photographer choose framing, size and content, and often reproduces third-party copyrighted images and the site's design in whole. De minimis covers trivial, incidental captures where the copyrighted element is negligible; a full screenshot that clearly reproduces embedded images or layout does not meet that test. If the goal is only to illustrate the Lemmy platform, please either crop or blur third-party thumbnails, obtain permission, or use a freely licensed mockup instead. --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 18:23, 15 September 2025 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2024 voting is open!

2023 Picture of the Year: Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods.
